A combined table is a table that is the result of putting two or more actual dining tables together to form a larger dining table.
You can set up the possible combinations of dining tables within a dining area layout to help the staff with manual allocation of dining tables. They can quickly see what combination of dining tables they can use, when no single tables are available for the requested number of guests.
If you are using automatic allocation for multiple reservations, or want to allocate automatically on reserving, you may need to set up combined dining tables to have a more complete allocation, since these two methods only allocate a reservation to a single, available dining table or a single, available combined dining table that fits the number of guests.
You need to assign a dining table type to a combined dining table. That way you can control the combined capacity. It may simply be the sum of the capacity of the actual tables or it may be less than or greater than this sum.
You can copy combined dining tables from one dining area layout to another.
Note: You can only combine dining tables within the same dining area section.
